Chris Night's Wrestling School
The cameras have been filming all day, a documentary for Carmen's return to wrestling in the works. It's right before midnight as Chris Night and Carmen have just exchanged a hug before the veteran wrestler and trainer walked off to the shower area to clean up. Sitting alone in the ring now, is Carmen Cambridge. A thin layer of sweat glistens on her forehead. Her blue nail polish is chipped from the intense workout. She sits in the corner, a closed mouth smile on her face.
"You're probably wondering why the eff I'm smiling when I look a hot mess. I'm smiling because I love my life, and I love what I do for a living. Everyone gets so caught up in the moment, that we all say or do things that we may look back on later and be like 'no boo boo, that wasn't a good look'. I'm not excluded from that, but the thing is, everything I've done, or said, coming into my debut for AWE has been A1, on point, fact after fact.
First lemme address something that seems to get lost on everyone. I don't call myself the 'Gucci Girl' after the designer brand, Gucci is slang for good, like...I'm Gucci, meaning I'm good. Simple, but everyone has taken it and ran with it. If you followed me or my career, you would already know what it is.
But enough about that. Let's talk about Washington DC. Let's talk about the DC Armory and Sports Complex and let's talk about November 6th. A night that will go down in history as AWE makes its debut in our Nation's Capital. I'm about to get presidential on Benny Stevens and Zack Fantana."
Carmen slides out of the ring, picking up her bag and making her way out into the Las Vegas night. As usual in Vegas at this time of night, everything is alive. She points out an Elvis impersonator and laughs.
"I've been out here less than a minute and I already spot a fake. A fake that reminds me of Benny Stevens. Benny changes his swag to fit in wherever he can. He wears a dress for attention, an ugly dress at that. Then he decides to be a member of Sons of Swag, a group that nobody took serious. Now, he wants us to look at him with a straight face. First of all, Benny-Boo, I've never doubted you in the ring, but I don't see you as a genuine person. With me, you get the same Carmen Cambridge in the ring or outside of it. I'mma stay on Fleek, I'mma keep things LIT, and I'm always going to speak my mind. You keep saying that you're better than me and you'll prove it in the ring, and that's a challenge I welcome, because win, lose, or draw, if you think I'm bringing anything less than one hundred percent, you're as delusional as Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton combined."
She winks at the camera.
"Had to keep it presidential, right?"
Carmen has to step off of the sidewalk to avoid a man furiously stomping by her, with 8x10's in his hand. He's shouting out 'Signed photo's for only ten dollars!'. She rolls her neck and then puts a hand up in his direction.
"That fool almost ran me over, stuck in his own world. Just like Zack Fantana. Ayy, Zack, no one ever said you weren't a threat. You're the OG of this match. More experience than myself and Benny combined, but your focus is in the wrong place. You want the attention to be solely on you. You're wondering why I'm making more money than you, and on that note...I ask, why you all up in my tea? I mean dang, can a girl eat?"
Cambridge continues into the Vegas night.
"Instead of worrying about my career, my time in Mexico, and how much MONIES I earn and generate, maybe you should worry more about how bad I'mma light your tail up on the sixth. You think I'm afraid of you 'dying my hair red?' I've wrestled Ash Scion before, so I'm Gucci with that. Think I can't tap you out, I've tapped out people with just as much experience. The moment you think you have my gameplan figured out, I switch it up. There are different levels to the Carmen Cambridge puzzle boo boo.
And to both of you, the moment you get caught up in my slang, the way I dress, or how I look, is the moment I catch you slippin'. Judge me by my words, neither of you seem concerned with my in-ring ability, which, despite having a few months off, is evident if you go back and study the matches.
Benny isn't worried about the past, but not knowing where your opponent came from, or what they've accomplished is a quick way to fall victim the same way past opponents have. Fantana is more worried about writing letters back and forth, and how much money we make that he forgot this is a business and maybe I'm making more because the company knows I'mma outwork EVERYONE on social media, just like I'mma outwork them in the ring."
Carmen stops outside of the hotel she's staying at for the evening. She looks dead into the camera.
"The resilience division needs a champion who isn't afraid of shots being taken at them 24/7. The resilience division needs a champion who will push themselves further than anyone else, and the resilience division needs a champion who will walk into a Massacre without fear of being swallowed alive in it.
I might be the smallest in the match, but I have the biggest heart. This heart will beat no matter how much of a BEATING you put on me. When Fantana tires out, and Stevens crashes and burns, this lil' Gucci girl will be standing tall...resilient as ever. Bet on that."
